These &#8220;money masters,&#8221; as literally defined in Korean, wield their sizable monetary influence to secure the land surrounding coal mines, the ports exporting portions of it, and every logistical detail connecting the two. The greater Jikdong Mine area in South Pyongan<br \/>\nProvince is known to have a high concentration of such operations helmed by donju from across North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cOn news that coal exports have come to a<br \/>\nhalt, donju, the chief actors in the country\u2019s coal distribution industry, have stopped investing,\u201d<br \/>\na source from South Pyongan Province told Daily NK on Tuesday. \u201cSome had been<br \/>\nthinking of completely giving up their coal handling and storage facilities,<br \/>\nbut with the rumors of exports starting back up in a few months time they\u2019re now mulling over whether to reinvest.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">This news was corroborated by two separate<br \/>\nsources in the same province.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">It is important to note that these rumors<br \/>\nare not coming from members of the public, but from \u2018above\u2019 (state<br \/>\nauthorities), the source explained, stating, \u201cThe Party\u2019s Department of<br \/>\nPropaganda and Agitation is even creating chatter that people should invest<br \/>\nduring the temporary suspension so they can benefit from the lower prices.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Such talk has cast many donju into a state<br \/>\nof confusion, scrambling to determine if current circumstances should be<br \/>\nconsidered a \u201cperfect opportunity,\u201d or \u201ca dangerous gamble.\u201d Most have<br \/>\nsolicited trusted Chinese traders with whom they share personal and<br \/>\nprofessional ties to help them arrive at a decision.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Certainly, such deliberation is distressing<br \/>\nfor officials, who know full well that a prolonged strangle on donju investment<br \/>\ncould eventually challenge the operation of the mines themselves, and by extension stymie a<br \/>\nrobust source of funds buttressing the leadership. Moreover, rations, however<br \/>\nmeager they may be, are nevertheless anticipated by the workers and miners<br \/>\nmoored to these enterprises. To cut them off suddenly could sow further discord<br \/>\nand have disastrous repercussions for management and further up the chain of command.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">For their part, ordinary residents welcome<br \/>\nthe chance to see coal banned from export trickle down to them for fuel<br \/>\ninstead. This is improbable, said the source, because &#8220;the priority for those above [Kim Jong Un] is securing<br \/>\nfunds for the Party; they\u2019d never sell it off cheaply.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" class=\"bbs_caption1_box\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/efile\/201603\/DNKE_1585_295691_1457504660_i.jpg\"><br \/><a class=\"bbs_caption1\">A major donju-run loading and storage facility for coal around Jikdong Mine.<br \/>&nbsp;Trucks and freight cars tied to&nbsp;foreign-currency earning enterprises are shown coming and <br \/>going to transport coal for export.<br \/>&nbsp;Image: Google Earth<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With China having cut off North Korea\u2019s mineral exports, Pyongyang\u2019s Central Party propaganda officials have been disseminating rumors that resumption of coal and mineral shipments is imminent in order to dissuade the country\u2019s newly affluent middle class, known as the donju, from halting their investments in related facilities.&nbsp; Donju are the fulcrum of North Korea\u2019s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":122,"featured_media":32379,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wikipediapreview_detectlinks":true,"footnotes":""},"categories":[645],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.9) -
